Oh that's really looking nice.

Take your time! Don't rush! We have the time, and need to spread our homebrew budget as much as possible :D

[Tom Beck]

A absolute amazing result. Many thanks for showing.

After a so long time, one of the most mystic Odyssey2/Videopac game will be real.

A dream comes true.

Thanks to all who are involved.

[Seob]

Keep up the good work. Really impressive.

[Tom Beck]

Are there any news about this amazing Sherlock Holmes project 

First I was so happy, that something so fantastic came maybe out, but now so long nothing. 

I know, this is a giant project that takes a long time to be finished, but is this still in progress 

[Rafael]

I think it will work. But it takes patience.

[Tom Beck]

This are good news. Thanks Rafael.

With patience I have absolute no problem.

Good things take a while.

[Rafael]

Yes
We are working, testing some things, thinking of others. For now, we have 20 manual pages ready, and others that depend on other things finished. As there is no news for some time, follows a preview of the board.

very nice

[VideopacBelgium]

Oh ! Sherlock Holmes overlay for O2 I've made several years ago.

[Tom Beck]

Thanks for the pictures Rafael and Marc. All look amazing.

It is so bad, that this wonderful game came too late for release in the eighties. This were a game I wanted to have for Christmas for sure.

We have so much luck, that the prototype was found. Also the front cover and parts of the board. Is it correct, that there is only one prototype of this game in René`s collection?

And now, some really nice peoples work in their free time on this big project, to release one of the most mystic Odyssey2 games, THANK YOU!

[Rafael]

Yes, Tom. The only prototype is from René. I told him that I was going to make an effort to carry out this project. In this case I depend on other talents for this achievement, and each one has their time. But things are going on. See some pictures.

Nice work !!! 

9449 has already attributed for other official releases (and homebrew !?)

AC 9449 INTERPOL
AC 9450 COUNTDOWN
AC 9451 BLOB
AC 9452 PINK PANTHER (officially numbered)

[Tom Beck]

That`s so cool. Thanks again Rafael.  

Wonderful to see, that on the other side of the world, fans work on this.

Generally it`s amazing to see, that in 2019 still other people have the same hobby and love for this system like I have.
Sometimes in the past, I ask me, if I collect for the right system. I don`t wanted collect for more than one system. When I collect something, I want to have all what for me were possible and that from all around the world. And that were for more systems for me not possible. That would be also very expensive.
So sometimes, when I see what happend in the Colecovision or Intellivision scene, I ask me, if I had choose the right decision.

But ever, when I have an old or new Videopac game or an old catalog from Philips in my hands, I have a feeling, that is difficult to explain. And than, I am sure, that all is ok like it is. No other system could this do for me.

And when I see, what other people like you Rafael, Marc, Dieter, David, Ivan do, or Janzl with this page or what René and Martijn in the past did, and all the others I have now forgotten   , I see, that I am not alone. Thanks to all of you. Because of you Odyseey2/Videopac is still alive.

 Nice work Rafael, impressive!

[Rafael]

Nice work Rafael, impressive!

Thanks

BTW, Maybe someone can give us some ideas. We have five symbols in the game. Of course, we believe that all symbols must belong to the same class and conclude that they refer to methods of murder. Four of the symbols fit perfectly into murder methods (see attached chart). But one of them apparently does not. Apparently it's an eye.
Question 1: Would it really be an eye, can anyone see anything else that fits as one of the crimes on the chart?
Question 2: Being an eye, what kind of crime could it fall into? (we provisionally created one, but we're not so convinced)
As the game is a prototype, we understood that it could change until the release and so we made some (we had consulted with René about this possibility). For example, we changed the snake, which originally looked like just a trace.
Question 3: Do we adapt the alleged eye to some kind of crime?
